Tedbridge Farmhouse

Tedbridge Farmhouse is a circa 1700 farmhouse, refurbished in the late 19th century, modernised, and enlarged circa 1970. The house is constructed of local stone rubble with brick quoins and dressings, stone rubble and brick stacks topped with 19th and 20th century brick, and a thatched roof. Originally a 3-room central service room plan house situated on a flat valley bottom facing south-southwest, the farmhouse features a parlour with a gable-end stack at the west (left) end. Adjacent to the parlour is the former service room, with a 19th-century rear lateral stack. A straight flight stair is located between the service room and the kitchen, which originally had a gable-end stack. A former woodshed was rebuilt in circa 1970, raised to two storeys, and incorporated into domestic use. The central service room, likely a dairy or pantry, was originally unheated.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with a 19th-century outshot to the rear, presenting a four-window front. The right-hand bay is the circa 1970 extension, while the rest of the main house features brick quoins on either end. Fenestration is predominantly late 19th century, with ground floor canted bay windows under a thatched roof, containing horned four-pane sashes, and first-floor four-pane sashes. A 20th-century French window is located left of centre, and the front doorway, to the right, contains a contemporary four-panel door and a thatched-roofed porch. A date plaque, inscribed "1720," is set under the eaves towards the left end; while seemingly a 20th-century addition, the date may correspond to the house's original construction. The roof is gable-ended.

The rear outshot contains circa 1700 flat-faced mullion oak windows with diamond and rectangular panes of leaded glass, believed to be original windows from the front of the house, relocated when the present front windows were inserted. The interior contains late 19th and 20th century joinery detail with limited exposed carpentry. The kitchen features a chamfered crossbeam with run-out stops. The kitchen fireplace is large, with a chamfered oak lintel and an oven. A cupboard to the right is thought to have been built into a former curing chamber. The parlour fireplace also has a chamfered oak lintel. The roof was not inspected, but the boxed-in bases of straight principals from A-frame trusses are visible on the first floor.
